(Please don't tell my college music 
professors if I got any of those 
chord name wrong.)

It sounds like he is doing some 
hammer-ons with the A string on the 
Em7 and the
low E string on the G6.  Listen to 
the record for the timing. Let me 
know if I got anything wrong.


[Intro]

Em7 G6 A7sus4 x4


[Verse 1]

         Em7           G6      
She said Andy you're better than 
    A7sus4
your past,
Em7              G6          A7sus4
winked at me and drained her glass,
      Em7           G6             
cross-legged on the barstool, like 
A7sus4         Em7    G6   A7sus4
nobody sits anymore.

         Em7         G6        
She said Andy you're taking me 
A7sus4
home,
      Em7      G6             
but I knew she planned to sleep 
   A7sus4
alone.
    Em7          G6      A7sus4  
I'd carry her to bed and sweep up
                   Em7    G6   
 the hair from the floor
A7sus4



[Chorus]

         Cadd9             Dsus2
If I had fucked her before she got 
sick
    G6    Dsus2/F# Em7
I'd never hear the end of it

Cadd9              Dsus2          
she don't have the spirit for that
 Em7
 now
   Cadd9                  Dsus2
We drink these drinks and laugh out 
loud,
G6     Dsus2/F# Em7
bitch about the weekend crowd,
    Cadd9             Dsus2  
and try to ignore the elephant 
      Em7    G6   A7sus4
somehow
    Em7    G6   A7sus4
somehow

Em7    G6   A7sus4 x2


[Verse]

         Em7       G6      A7sus4
She said Andy you crack me up,
Em7              G6   A7sus4
Seagram's in a coffee cup,
      Em7           G6       
sharecropper eyes and her hair 
      A7sus4         Em7    G6   
almost all gone.
A7sus4


             Em7         G6        
When she was drunk she made cancer 
A7sus4
jokes,
      Em7           G6       A7sus4
she made up her own doctor's notes,
    Em7          G6      A7sus4  
surrounded by her family, I saw 
                   Em7    G6   
that she was dying alone.
A7sus4



[Chorus]

    Cadd9            Dsus2
I'd sing her classic country songs
    G6        Dsus2/F# Em7
and she'd get high and sing along.
Cadd9               Dsus2        
She don't have much voice to sing
      Em7
 with now
Cadd9                     Dsus2
We'd burn these joints in effigy,
G6    Dsus2/F#    Em7
cry about what we used to be,
Cadd9                 Dsus2    
and try to ignore the elephant 
Em7       G6   A7sus4
somehow.
    Em7    G6   A7sus4
Somehow


[Chorus]

  Cadd9        Dsus2
I buried her a thousand times,
 G6         Dsus2/F# Em7
given up my place in line,
Cadd9              Dsus2          
but I don't give a damn about that
 Em7
 now
        Cadd9                 
There's one thing that's real clear 
Dsus2
to me,
 G6    Dsus2/F#  Em7
no one dies with dignity.
Cadd9                      Dsus2  
We just try to ignore the elephant
 Em7    G6   A7sus4
 somehow.
Cadd9                      Dsus2  
We just try to ignore the elephant
 Em7    G6   A7sus4
 somehow.
Cadd9                      Dsus2  
We just try to ignore the elephant
 Em7    G6   A7sus4
 somehow.
Somehow.
    Em7    G6   A7sus4
Somehow.
